Poems From My Preaching

A little bit of “Daily Light”
Makes the pathway clear,
A little of His Word each day,
Helps remove the fear.

I’m thankful for His “Daily Light”
Which brings such peace of mind,
It never ceases to encourage me
As great treasures therein I find.

This “Daily Light” will guide me
While through this life I go,
T’will be my constant companion
Daily restoring my soul.

–MHB

I give thanks for my Bible,
The precious Word of God.
It saves and keeps and satisfies
Along the path I trod.

This Book has been my Companion,
Oh, the times it has comforted me.
It has encouraged my heart,
And made me glad,
And from sin has set me free.

Of all the books that I have read,
My Bible alone stands tall,
Though books I’ll have until I die,
This Book excels them all.

So I’ll take my Bible where’re I go,
It will be my constant Guide,
When friends forsake me,
And life’s hopes fail me,
In this Book I will confide.

–M.H. Belt

Before I read the Word of God
There are some things I ask–
I pray for His enlightenment,
That I may in His wisdom bask.

I also ask for His direction
To keep me in His will–
For I know I’m prone to wander
And rush rather than be still.

Next I seek a commandment,
God’s personal word to me–
A challenge or a conviction
To flee from sin and holy be.

Then I ask for encouragement
For sometimes the journey’s tough–
His Word does tame my many fears
It reminds me His grace is enough.

And always I give God thanks
For the enjoyment that I receive–
From reading all His love notes
Which led me to believe.
